Saudi Arabia-based cybersecurity startup COGNNA has closed a Seed investment round, securing over $2.25 million. The funding round was led by IMPACT46 and saw participation from Vision Ventures, Faith Capital, and other investors.

COGNNA, founded in 2022 by Ibrahim Alshamrani and Ziyad Alshehri, employs artificial intelligence and advanced data analysis to identify threats within customers' systems and networks. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI, COGNNA aims to contribute to the proactive detection and mitigation of evolving cyber threats, enhancing the overall cybersecurity landscape in the region while aligning with regional regulations.

The injection of funds is expected to further fuel COGNNA's development and expansion as it continues to play a role in fortifying digital defenses against cyber threats.
